middle behind the discal elevation ; the latter very slightly raised 

 and only apparent on the posterior part of the disc. Last ventral 

 segment of the female obtusely pointed at the apex. 



This section includes G. venusta, Pasc, and G. seclusa, 

 Pasc, from Batchian, G. bimaculata, Pasc, from Waigiou, 

 G. fiavicincta, Pasc, from Say lee, G. vermda, Pasc, from 

 Morty, and C. annulicornis, Pasc, from Celebes. 



The following four species are closely related to these 

 but differ in having the prothorax more protuberant at the 

 middle of each side ; the last joint of the antennas less 

 sharply pointed and covered entirely with pubescence ; 

 and the last ventral segment of the female more broadly 

 rounded at the apex. 



Chreonoma pallida.

 Astathes kraatzi, Thorns., 1. c, p. 559. 



Entirely pale yellowish-testaceous, excepting the last five to seven 

 joints of the antennae which are infuscate. Prothorax with a very 

 slight elevation extending along the middle of the disc almost from 

 the base to the apex ; this elevation smooth, and only distinctly 

 limited posteriorly where it is bounded by the basal transverse 

 groove. Elytra rather thickly punctured from the base to a little 

 beyond the middle. Scape of the antennas a little longer than the 

 third joint, asperate in front at the apex. Last ventral segment of 

 $ with a rather broad and deep fovea before the apex.

9. Characters as in C. kraatzi, Thorns., but with the smooth 

 space along the disc of the prothorax much narrower and restricted 

 to the posterior part of the disc ; and the pronotum at the sides of, 

 and in front of, this smooth space much more thickly punctured.
